Linzhi

The prince had never met Fu Nian Khan.

Not only him, almost no one in the imperial court had personally seen Fu Nian Khan, the Turkic leader who ascended to the position of Khan at a young age.

After Fu Nian came to power, he did not directly lead people to the Central Plains to plunder like the Turkic Khans of the past dynasties, but first quelled the internal power struggle, cleaned up all the brothers and courtiers who competed with him, and then married his sister to the Xiao Yu, form an alliance with him.When everyone thought he would invade the border, he set his sights on the Western Turks, unified the northern Turks with lightning speed, and became a powerful enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Now, Fu Nian Khan once again did not act according to common sense. He abandoned other state capitals with richer supplies, and chose Yunzhou, which had been looted once and was full of ruins, and directly took down the prince.

There was only one explanation: he had known for a long time that the prince would come to Yunzhou, waited for a long time, and finally made his move.

The prince only figured this out on the way back from being captured. At this time, he was already covered in scars, and he was the only one in the Eastern Palace.

But Fu Nian Khan's youth still surprised him.

The other party was about the same age as him, with no beard on his face, and when his eyes were fixed on the prince, it made the latter feel uncomfortable. It was a naked look full of plunder and offense. No one had ever looked at the prince like this before. If it was in Chang'an, he would probably have taken the case and asked someone to drag him out.

"You, are He Mu?" Fu Nian's Chinese accent was a bit strange, but she was still fluent.

The prince opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that his throat was burning and hurt, and he couldn't utter a word.

Fu Nian raised his hand, and immediately someone came over with a cup of water, squeezed the prince's chin, and forced it into it.

The prince was caught off guard, the water choked into his nostrils, he coughed involuntarily, and was in a panic again.

"...Where is Gao Zheng? How is Yunzhou?" He asked hoarsely.

Fu Nian laughed: "You ran away, abandoned them, and still care about them?"

The prince was embarrassed by what he said.

"I am the crown prince. When you attack Yunzhou, you just want to capture me and humiliate me. It is a matter of the face of the Celestial Dynasty. Naturally, I cannot let you catch me!"

Fu Nian: "Yunzhou is broken, as for your General Gao..."

He raised his hand and said to the left and right: "Bring it in."

The prince thought that Gao Zheng, like him, would also be tied up and pushed in. Unexpectedly, the next moment, someone entered with a crude box.

Looking at the past, the prince suddenly spun and fell to the ground, tears pouring out.

But seeing Gao Zheng's head was put in the box, his eyes were slightly closed, and there seemed to be an expression of unwillingness on his face.

That is the indignation of unfulfilled ambitions, and it is the helplessness of failing to succeed.

"I killed General Gao...I killed General Gao!" The crown prince began to cry, covering his face, and melted all the regret into these tears.

After crying for a while, he seemed to think of something, suddenly raised his head and looked at Fu Nian.

"Tell me, who informed you that I will come to Yunzhou?"

Fu Nian asked with great interest: "Why is someone tipping me off, can't I guess it myself?"

The prince sneered and said, "If you hadn't known that I was coming, why did you choose Yunzhou?"

Fu Nian smiled and said: "That's right, the other party told me that the prince is useless and mediocre, but now it seems that you are still a bit clever, unfortunately it's too late."

"To, what, is, who?" the prince stared at him, and paused every word.

"If I tell you, you won't be able to go back, so you still want to know?"

After Fu Nian finished speaking, seeing him stunned for a moment, he couldn't help laughing, feeling the pleasure of playing with the prince of the Central Plains. From this, he thought of those khans in the Turkic past, who only thought about how to get out of bed in the autumn all day long. The Central Plains plundered a lot to survive the harsh winter. Why didn't you think of pinching the weaknesses of the Central Plains people, which is much more interesting than burning, killing, and looting?

He thought he was different from the Turkic Khans of all dynasties.

What Fu Nian looked at was not the prince in front of him, nor just Yunzhou, but the vaster and richer land south of Yunzhou.

"His Royal Highness, do you want to go back to the Central Plains?"

The prince looked up blankly, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about, Fu Nian repeated it patiently.

"...Can I go back?"

The prince seemed to ask him, but also to himself.

After a while, he shook his head again. If the Turks took him as a hostage, they would definitely open their mouths and demand a lot from the court. Even if His Majesty was willing to give it, he would lose all face of the court, and he would be ruined even more. Involved wife and children.

Looking at the remains of Gao Zheng with lingering hatred for his death, the prince suddenly regretted that his desire to survive made him not resolutely stay in Yunzhou. Even if he died in the city and the country, he could at least have a heroic reputation, but now...

There was a look of pain on his face.

"I can't go back, and I can't go back..."

The only way through the ages is to die.The prince's aptitude is mediocre, let alone a saint, so there is no exception. He knows that his life is in Fu Nian's hands. The other party may have already made a decision, but he is like a cat catching a mouse. Playing around for a while, now he has tasted what it's like to be a mouse, but if he didn't come to Yunzhou on his own way, maybe he would still stay in Chang'an now, fighting with King Ji, worried that the other party would steal his limelight, and worried that the high-ranking family would stand up. To King Ji's side.

Compared with now, those troubles and calculations are nothing at all.

"Do you want to use me as a hostage to negotiate with His Majesty?" He asked Fu Nian.

The latter held a short dagger in his hand, and in the scabbard of the gorgeous jewel was a sharp dagger.Fu Nian got up and walked in front of the prince, squatted down, stretched out her hand, aimed the dagger at the prince's face, and slowly slid down from the face to the chin, neck, and even the collar.

The blade drew a bloodstain on the skin, and the smell of blood was faint, reflecting the prince's face of suppressing fear.

This is the future emperor of the Central Plains?

Fu Nian saw all the changes in his expression, and smiled in his heart. In the past, he thought that the Central Plains was rich in products and outstanding people. The emperor and prince must be the best of the best. Otherwise, how would he rule the world and the people from all over the world?Unexpectedly, since he set out to go south, the Central Plains court has repeatedly made mistakes, and now they have sent the crown prince to him. Doesn’t it just confirm the saying of the Central Plains people: the world is the world of the world, not the world of one person, only the virtuous live Of.

"His Royal Highness, you are not worth negotiating, and I don't want to negotiate with your emperor."

Fu Nian smiled at him, and suddenly put the dagger into the prince's heart!

The castration was so fast that the prince didn't even have time to dodge or be afraid, he only felt a chill in his chest and then a sharp pain.

He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, stared at the person in front of him, and then slowly lowered his head.

Blood gushed out from the gap between the dagger and the heart, and soon soaked the cloth on his chest, symbolizing that his vitality was rapidly draining.

The prince opened his mouth. He still has a lot to say and do. He wants to go back and reconcile with King Ji, he wants to remind Emperor Jiayou to be careful of traitors, he wants to hold his wife and children again, and touch his son's head .

But in this life, all this has come to naught.

The scene in front of him gradually blurred, and Fu Nian's face gradually merged with the darkness. He felt his body become colder and eventually return to nothingness.

Fu Nian pulled the dagger from the prince's chest, grabbed the corner of the prince's robe to wipe it clean, and put it back into the sheath.

"Central Plains people, that's all!" He laughed.

The Turkic minister who was standing under him said: "The sweat is like an eagle, and the Central Plains people are just weak chicks under the eagle's claws. Sooner or later, they will become the eagle's prey."

Don't think that Turkic people can't flatter. There are traces of people's hearts in the world.

Another minister sneered: "We Turkic people pay attention to the law of the jungle, but the Central Plains pay attention to the order of the young and old. Could it be that that man is a lunatic and fool, as long as he is born first, he can be the emperor?"

If it was in Chang'an, someone who dared to say this in front of the prince would undoubtedly hit the prince's heart disease, but now, he can only lie there quietly with his eyes wide open, and he will not die.

When the others heard this, they all laughed.

Fu Nian also laughed a few times, and then said: "With such a prince, the emperor must be no good. The Central Plains is exhausted. It seems that even the heavens are looking after us. The people of the Central Plains occupy such a rich land and property, but they don't know how to cherish it. It should have been given to us long ago!"

For a while, the voices of "good" and "reasonable" came one after another.

Fu Nian beckoned a Turkic guard to come in.

"Drag this Prince of the Central Plains out, chop off his head, and send it to Chang'an, so that the Emperor of the Central Plains can take a good look at it. Don't they pay attention to being buried in the ground? Now I send them the head back, and I treat them well. gone."

The guard responded loudly.

Fu Nian said to the left and right again: "Notify Xiao Yu, let him prepare and take Ganzhou soon."

……

He Rong speculated that the real target of the Turks was Yunzhou, so he sent the matter to Chang'an along with the memorial to defend himself, but the people he sent had not arrived in Chang'an, and the Turkic people who captured Yunzhou overnight The news has reached the capital.

Along with this news, Gao Zheng was killed in battle, the entire army was wiped out, and the crown prince's head.

When opening the box, Emperor Jiayou's eyes went dark, and he immediately fainted at the court meeting, causing a lot of confusion.

But after the chaos, people will always wake up, and he will eventually have to face the fact that the prince left alive, but only his head came back.

The East Palace was naturally in a mess, even the calm and calm Empress Pei was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time when she heard the news, her hands and feet were so weak that she almost got pregnant.

On the other side, the Yunzhou barrier has been abolished, and the Turkic cavalry drove straight in, fighting all the way to support the war, and soon rushed straight to Taiyuan.

Emperor Jiayou panicked completely, and frequently summoned important ministers to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that the opinions of the people are not unanimous.
